A List

What I've learned / What has changed since surgery.

* Frozen blueberries, which I ate every morning for 4 months last time I did WW, are no longer a viable breakfast option. The hulls and I don't agree on things.

* 1 of the $1.99 margaritas at Don Tequila's is more than enough now.

* I really don't need to try to eat Wheat Thins a 4th time. I get now that they don't go down easily.

* Now that I have a scar on my belly, I can't wear a 2 piece bathing suit. Nevermind, I was never going to do that anyway. I have enough stretch marks to map the Appalachian Mountains.

* I bounce around the same 2 pounds for a week, then go down 1. Then I bounce around those 2 pounds for another week. It's annoying. But at least going down.

* Chicken and french fries, which I was convinced would be a problem, aren't.

* It's almost grilling season and I'm a little upset that I might not be able to eat a hamburger. But happy about the Carribean Jerk Chicken Skewers we always make.

* While this is the easiest time I've had losing weight, I'm not sure I'd call it "the easy way out" or "cheating" as I've heard.
